Not A Joke: Cain's Sexual Harassment Settlement Was Dated 9/99

POLITICO's Jonathan Martin reports that a settlement in of the
sexual harassment cases against Herman Cain was signed by the
National Restaurant Association on a symbolic date for Cain:
9/99.

Joel Bennett, the attorney for one of the women who complained
about Herman Cain at the National Restaurant Association said
Friday that his client's settlement was dated in September of
1999 and signed by the trade group's general counsel but not
Cain.

Bennett's client has yet to come forward, and the trade
association has yet to approve a statement from the woman which
pushes back on Cain's claims that the charges were baseless.
